This is probably the most spectacular video on recursive decent parser on youtube !

[dileepreddy]

best explaination ever your way of teaching is simply brilliant and easy understanding👌

[oonmm]

DIDN'T WE!?

Yes sir, we did! Great video!

[muneeburrehman]

Got me way too excited during the dry run! Amazing teaching skills, thanks!

[saraalsayed]

Thank you for the amazing explanations in all these videos. Please upload the rest of this course as soon as possible, very appreciated!

[rishiluniya]

i think in main you have to take one character i.e.look_ahead=getchar() before E(); for the code to actually work

Loved this video. I wish there was a video like this for the grammar of a real language! Would probably be too long but hey it'd be fun.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:33 🔄 Top-down parsers can be categorized into two types: with backtracking (using brute force algorithms) and without backtracking. This session focuses on top-down parsers without backtracking.
01:16 🌲 Top-down parsers use the top-down approach to generate parse trees, employing leftmost derivation. Context-free grammars for these parsers should be free of left recursion and non-determinism.
02:40 📜 Recursive Descent Parser is a top-down parser built from mutually recursive procedures or their non-recursive equivalents, where each procedure implements a non-terminal of the grammar.
04:16 🌐 Illustrated a Recursive Descent Parser example for a grammar, demonstrating how procedures for non-terminals mirror the grammar structure.
09:06 🎉 The main function initiates parsing by calling the starting non-terminal (e.g., function `e`), and successful parsing is confirmed by checking if the lookahead symbol is the dollar symbol.

thanks - just starting learning about his - already familiar with tongs of algorithms that use dfs approach

[noellundstrom]

Thank you I just implemented my first parser for math expressions of integers with your teaching!

[yathishkumary]

Thank you for uploading the video. Its really helpful for us in gate preparation. I am willing to get neso fuel for the compiler design videos. Kindly keep uploading the videos on compiler design series. Thank you very much♥♥

[robinhood]

please upload the rest of the series fast having test tomorrow

[dinushachathuranga]

Thank you for the clear explanations❤❤

[jungheewonyy]

My Indian teacher you saved my life AGAIN🥹🙏🙏

[axonis]

The look_ahead check in E() is wrong because if you have an empty (just $) input, it will be parsed as successful. That would be wrong because input must start with an i. The correct E() is:
{
match('i');
E'();
}

[clock_control]

Sir please complete it as soon as possible

[cggrandmaster]

This was amazing teaching, a great lesson, fascinating. Thank you.

[TechnoSan]

really fantastic explanation
but a doubt,
look_ahead == <some_char>, the `==` operator does the same job of match(<some_char>)
then why do we need to put match() function/procedure again

[samarthtandale]

This is such a Great series ... !!! Thanks 100%

[shastiraj]

I have a question that Initially how will the look_aheak is assigned.
